Sounds terrifying. Glad you are OK. It's one thing to suspect they are trying to kill you, another thing when they do it deliberately.

I look up, make eye contact with him in the wing mirror and give him a friendly wave...

A10 this morning going south coming up to Liverpool Street- Lorry in outside lane decides to indicate left an then start moving over while I am 2/3rds of the way up his lorry. I look up, make eye contact with him in the wing mirror and give him a friendly wave, I'm here, kind of thing. Instead of slow down and hang back he instead lurches over- cue a sharp tap on his passenger window as I am now alongside the cab. Driver stops, we are shouting at each other, and then as I pull round the front of him he lunges the vehicle at me- I lost my shit. It was almost like an out of body experience I could see myself climbing up the side of his cab screaming and shouting, hanging onto the open window. Usually I am pretty chilled or will get it out of my system with a couple of shouts but today was different.
Fast forward to getting to work, have now reported him on roadsafe, found out that it is a hired vehicle, tracked that further to find that the vehicle is currently being operated by Delice de France, and will be taking it up with them once the chap returns my call.
In the meantime driver of DAF lorry PN15 HRR is a total prick, avoid.
